*The Official E53 Manual Transmission Registry Thread*

I will add our X to the three pedal list.
2002 3.0i 5 speed We purchased it in December, looked long and hard for a manual. So far we are very happy with it. Rediscovering the joy of driving. When I purchased it I knew the rear suspension bushings were worn out. I think that is why the owner traded it in. Replaced them last week, the car is even better. I would think that the manuals are harder on the rear bushing due to a more aggressive shifting. Last edited by SarTech; 02-09-2012 at 12:39 PM. |

I would love a manual transmission X5, or X3 for that matter. It seems out out of character for a SUV to have a stick and makes it so much more unique. Driving a manual is so much fun too! Too bad you can't autocross an X5 otherwise I probably would be out of this Impreza and back into another X5 or X3.

Add me..... Currently in a 2004 Kalahari Beige Metallic Manual 6-speed. Picked it up a month ago after sadly sending my 2001 Boston Green Metallic Manual 5-speed to BMW hell after a collision.
![]() However, after searching for a month I found a perfect replacement with the right amount of compromise which I never thought would happen. Turns out the previous owner is a member of this board, and made a few fine upgrades. AFE Intake, Conforti Shark Injector Chip, free flow mufflers with some nice exhaust tips to round it out. He also added a tow package with a brake controller. Full Credit to FullTilt. ![]() I will post some pics soon. Stainless steel headers are next. If you want to know my initial impressions from going from the 5-speed to the 6-speed with x-drive I can share. Just be careful with your manual-X. They are a rare breed and among the best in my book. |

2002 188k miles. Ordered it fall 2001, took delivery 11/2001. Only options were cruise control, 18 wheels, premium sound. It's been worked pretty hard but still looks great.

8/03 production with 153k. All options but dsp and nav, xenons, rear heated seats and sport pack. Just installed the factory tow kit and about to pull a dual axle 5000 pound trailer 1400 miles this weekend, hope my clutch survives

Was your car on ebay a few months ago? I remember seeing a beige one out west but passed on it because of location, but i remember it was owned by an enthusiast, had mufflers and intake! I hope the mods can sticky this thread someday so we can have a one stop source of info for manual transmission owners! |
